Favorite deleted / extended scenes you wish had made the film?

The Wampa attack on Echo Base in TESB.

Luke building his lightsaber in ROTJ.

The Arnold scenes in T3. "I don't know about that accent." "We can fix it."

Stan Lee calling Cap an idiot in The Avengers (along with some pretty good moments like Steve flipping through the files of his dead friends).

Lots of great Jack Burton lines were cut from Big Trouble in Little China.

Probably a ton of stuff in LoTR - I never watch the theatrical cuts anymore.

The scene from A League of Their Own, when Dottie admits that she dropped the ball on purpose.

From the office where Andy and Dwight are discussing the guns they will be using in their duel and creed explains what they are. So funny.

Link? Haven't seen this in forever.

The original ending to the Shining

if anyone has ever watched Joy Ride on DVD, in the extras there are several different endings. 3 aren't really all that different but the 4th changes up a good chunk of the last 45 minutes of the flick. I think its actually much better than what was released theatrically.

here is a description from IMDB

(spoilers obviously)

The fourth ending - which is actually a completely different third act - begins with the brothers naked at the rest stop. As Venna is talking to Rusty Nail, she mentions something about 70% of psychotic killers end up killing themselves. She sees Rusty Nail pull up behind her and she honks on the phone. The brothers run out, Fuller getting dressed and getting into the car, Lewis running naked across the parking lot to cut off Rusty Nail. Fuller and Venna in the car chase after Rusty Nail.

As they run along side the semi truck up an off ramp, they are forced off the road by an oncoming car. Fuller swerves to miss the car and Lewis' car flips down a hill.

After Fuller gets out of the car, the man in the other car punches him and begins fighting Lewis as he comes running up. Venna hears Charlotte screaming on the CB as the police show up. The next shot is in the police station with the brothers behind bars. Venna, talking the police chief tells him that she is not leaving until they find Charlotte. She also finds out that Ellinghouse, the prick who had his jaw ripped off, has died from his wounds.

Rusty Nail calls the brothers on the station phone. The police trace the call as Rusty Nail says that Venna made a lot of sense when she was talking about psychotic killers killing themselves. We hear a gun blast over the phone as the police trace the call. When they get to the phone, they find a dead body in a pay phone with a shotgun blast to the face. They also find Charlotte in the back of a trailer bed. Venna goes with Charlotte in an ambulance. An officer takes the brothers.

On the way back to the station, they realize that the dead body in the phone booth was the Ice Truck driver. Lewis steals the officer's gun and steals his car. Fuller has the option of staying with the officer and saving himself a felony charge but chooses to go with Lewis. They find the ambulance flipped upside down. Charlotte is there, Venna is gone, and the driver is rambling about Rusty Nail taking Venna. The words "DRINK UP!" are spray painted on the side of the ambulance and the pink champagne bottle is inside.

The brothers continue down the road in the stolen police car. They come upon Rusty Nail and pull him over next to a corn field with the police siren. Fuller dresses as a cop to distract Rusty Nail as Lewis gets in back to find Venna. Rusty Nail eventually realizes this is what is going on and backs the truck into the police car forcing it into a ditch. Rusty Nail drives off with Lewis and Venna still in the back, but they eventually jump out. Fuller runs up to meet them as Rusty Nail gets out of his truck. He unlatches the trailer bed and comes after them with the semi.

They run into the corn field in pretty much the same scene that is in the original. The only difference is they all stay together and they eventually come upon a tractor with a tank of Ammonia Nitrate. Lewis gets the idea of blowing up Rusty Nail and tells Fuller and Venna to run. They do, and Lewis gets Rusty Nail's attention. The semi truck comes after him and hits the gas tank, but it does not blow up. Instead, the truck is pushing the tank after Lewis. Fuller and Venna get out of the corn field and turn to see Lewis close behind. Lewis screams for Fuller to shoot the gas tank with the officer's gun. Fuller finally hits the tank and the truck explodes. The three watch the truck burn as the police arrive.

At the hospital, Lewis and Venna finally kiss. Fuller thinks he could make a pretty good cop. Paramedics show up with Rusty Nail and try to revive him. As the three watch on, Rusty Nail finally dies. Fuller says he can't believe it, but he actually wants to go home.

That was great.

I love Mal's line in Serenity (scene starts @ 25s), but it was supposed to be a really dark scene so they obviously couldn't use it:

The first time I watched this I figured they cut it because it didn't really advance the story to an already long movie but I think the Mouth of Sauron is a pretty cool character and idea. Plus it stays a bit more true to the book.

that was just too cheesy with the smiling.

The scene where Legolas kills Saruman in ROTK. I always felt we never got good closure to Saruman's story in Two Towers

Agreed. Also loved Luke building his lightsaber in RotJ

I hated it and wanted the Scouring of the Shire with Wormtongue killing Saruman. I'm still pissed Peter Jackson left that out.
